RVSC24 R09 Penrite Sandown 500
I still have my yellow scarf from the Norton sponsorship days of this event.
Always love the real Mr Whippy van sitting in the paddock near the opening to the circuit proper. Nothing better than a twin choc top regardless of rain, hail, heat or anything else Mother Nature could deliver. Best grandstand to watch V8Supercars too. Corporate box in the bookies enclave is actually worse than sitting in the stands as you mostly on see the teevs… It used to be THE form guide to the Bathurst event. The cars now just don’t break.. except in the hands of a hamfisted pilot or two.. And pit stops are no longer foreign to the teams. The days of watching a DJR equivalent of a Chinese fire drill in the pits is definitely no longer so, from any of the teams Picking a winner will be a challenge.. An MSR win would be good to see.. |

I think that sandown is a track that will suit the mustangs apart from the fords appearing to be on the ascendancy.

Depending on the relationship you are best to stand at the door and ask if you can enter. Not everyone will do that, expect someone to ask "what the **** do you want" at some stage if that is your habit.

Turmoil at Melbourne Racing Club. Maybe Sandown will continue? Part of the platform that the "rebels" bring is their claimed similarity of views with the membership of the club broadly. Para on some of the key points they'd go with:

Makes you wonder what BIC pay when a kart hire place can sponsor a team as Naming Rights Sponsor as such a premium event
